Actor Charlie Sheen was released from a hospital Friday, one day after his anguished father told the world his son overdosed on drugs.

"He's doing just wonderfully," said Kris Carroway-Bowman, spokeswoman for Los Robles Regional Medical Center. "Hopefully he will go into a rehabilitation program, but he's an adult and that's his choice."The fast-living Sheen, 32, star of "Platoon" and "Wall Street," renounced his drug and boozing ways two years ago but early Wednesday overdosed on an undisclosed drug.

Paramedics responded to a 911 call at Sheen's Malibou Lake mansion, where they found him conscious and complaining of tingling in his hands and difficulty in walking.

"This is not an easy moment in our lives, but it's a necessary one," his famous father, actor Martin Sheen, said Thursday night. "Our hope is that he will accept recovery and be fine."
